A piece of an old cutting matt works. Wecome!

Just luv the fabric!!!!

You could use a thin piece of plexi-glass (it comes in varying thicknesses and you can find it at building centres, sometimes hardware stores and they can cut it to size for you).

I would take a file and round the cut edges a little to keep it from rubbing the fabric.

Very pretty purse, love the colors.

I generally use 2 layers of mat board (from the frame shop) and tape them together and cover them in a fabric that coordinates with the lining of the bag. I just wrap the fabric around to the back of the board piece and tape it (with duck tape to be sure it holds) because you'll never see it.

I purchase the white science fair project board, cut it and make a slip (pillowcase) for it and place it in the bottom. Works great.

I've used kitchen cutting mats (used for cutting up veggies) from the dollar store and they've worked well.

I get scraps of corrugated plastic from our local sign company. They just throw them out, so I have a stack saved up for the bottoms of my tote bags.

I cover plexiglass with matching fabric

I would use two pieces of plastic grid and whip them together, then cover with fabric

Whatever you use, round the corners slightly. The squared off ones will come through the fabric eventually. I learned this from my sister who has Vera Bradley bags with holes in the bottom corners.
